Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of coking dry quenching production process and equipment manufacturing, in particular to a closed-circuit air inlet system for a dry quenching coke oven with a circulating air inlet system and a coke discharge system. Background Art

[0002] The coke drum with 1000℃ red coke enters the dry quenching furnace through the elevator. In the cooling section of the dry quenching furnace, the coke flows downward, and the inert circulating gas is sent into the upper and lower air chambers and the central air duct in the cross hood through the circulating fan. The inert gas flows upward, and the coke flows downward. The coke is cooled by heat exchange with the circulating gas. The coke discharged from the dry quenching furnace can be cooled to below 200℃. The inert circulating gas exchanges heat with the coke in the cooling section of the dry quenching furnace in countercurrent, and enters the dry quenching boiler after heating to 900-960℃. Since a small amount of air will leak into the negative pressure section of the gas circulation system, O2 will react with the coke through the red coke layer to generate CO2, and CO2 will be reduced to CO in the high temperature area of ​​the coke layer. With the increase of the number of cycles, the CO concentration in the circulating gas becomes higher and higher. In addition, the residual volatile matter of coke is always precipitating, and the H2, CO, CH4, etc. generated by the pyrolysis of coke are also flammable and explosive components. Therefore, during the dry quenching operation, the concentration of combustible components in the circulating gas must be controlled below the explosion limit. Generally, there are two measures to control it. First, continuously add an appropriate amount of industrial N2 to the gas circulation system to dilute the combustible components in the circulating gas, and then release the corresponding amount of circulating gas; second, continuously introduce an appropriate amount of air into the circulating gas drawn out at a temperature of 900-960°C to burn the increased combustible components, and then release the corresponding amount of circulating gas after cooling by the boiler. Both methods can be feedback-regulated by the concentration of H2 and CO in the circulating gas measured by the automatic online gas analyzer installed on the circulating gas pipeline.

[0003] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, currently all the circulating gas of the CDQ furnace directly enters a flap valve through a circulating fan, and two sets of regulating flaps are provided in the flap valve to enter the upper air chamber and the lower air chamber of the blast device respectively. The upper air chamber enters the CDQ furnace through the gap between the double-layer cone buckets, and enters the lower air chamber all the way to the central air chamber. The outlet of the CDQ furnace is below the blast device. The coke discharge system is composed of a flat gate, a transition chute, a vibrating feeder, a rotary sealing valve, a double-branch chute and a belt at the CDQ furnace outlet.

[0004] The flap valve is usually used to adjust the air volume and cannot be used as a cut-off function. The flat gate only cuts off the coke at the dry quenching furnace outlet. The coke discharge system is directly connected to the outside to prevent coke discharge when it is necessary to stop coke discharge. Since the flat gate cuts off coke particles, the gate cannot cut off the gas function.

[0005] Equipment damage in the CDQ system requires non-stop maintenance, such as boiler tube bursts, etc., which requires stopping the circulating fan and then performing online repairs for one or several days. Only the furnace needs to be shut down for maintenance. Currently, the flap valve after the circulating fan is closed and the flat gate at the CDQ grate outlet can only be closed. Since the air leakage is very serious after the flap valve and the flat gate are closed, one: the air enters the upper and lower air chambers into the CDQ furnace through the circulating fan, and the other: the air directly enters the CDQ furnace from the flat gate through the coke exhaust system and the blast device. For a long time, the coke in the CDQ furnace will reignite. In severe cases, the cross hood will be burned and collapsed, and the cross channel will be burned, making the entire CDQ furnace unusable and requiring shutdown for overhaul.

[0006] In addition, when the rotary sealing valve of the CDQ furnace coke discharge system is stuck and needs emergency repair, the online repair is only carried out after reducing the fan air volume and air pressure. Since the flat gate cannot be closed and cut off, it is very dangerous for the maintenance personnel to operate (the largest accident occurred in a domestic steel enterprise during maintenance with two deaths). Close the discharge shut-off valve in the coke discharge system to prevent the inert gas in the CDQ furnace from being discharged downward and start the safety maintenance purpose.

[0007] In view of the shortcomings of existing technologies, in order to improve the closed-circuit system of the CDQ furnace air inlet system and the coke discharge system, improve the safety and reliability of operations during maintenance, prevent major safety accidents and ensure the safety and reliability of equipment during maintenance.

The circulating air flow in the furnace body enters the cooling section 23 through the upper air chamber 19 and the lower air chamber 17 for heat exchange, and the high-temperature gas passes through the upper annular air duct 24 and the primary dust removal unit 28 and then passes through the boiler 29 for heat exchange and then flows back to the circulating fan 31; the coke discharge system 7 is provided with a flat gate 8, a vibrating feeder 10, a rotary sealing valve 11, a double-branch chute 12 and then passes through the coke transport belt 13, and is characterized in that: the circulating air intake system 7 is provided with a circulating air shut-off valve 2 at the outlet of the circulating fan 31; a discharge shut-off valve 9 is provided below the flat gate 8.

[0039] Specifically, the circulating air shut-off valve 2 is arranged between the circulating fan 31 and the flap valve 3.
